The boat has been in pending the whole time and I cannot get a reply thru DM. So will probably pass on it.

I have not bought my trawler YET ,still looking ,but live on large lake and have had boats all my life. A boat is not an investment, it is a lifestyle. I enjoy working on them and the pleasure that it brings me and my wife. When I buy my trawler I am looking for the most bang for my buck. But, I...

Thanks for the input. I have been binge watching his channel for 2 weeks now. LOL

I am new and still learning, so, I have an ignorant question due to lack of knowledge. I am assuming you have to haul out to change dripless seal boot. If anyone has changed a CV axle shaft, years ago you had to pull the whole axle. Then they came up with a boot that was like a clam shell...

I have the skillsets for all, built a house at 25, was welder for 15 yrs, build engines, electronics and computer degree, certified by Dometic to work on HVAC. Have done some fiberglass on my current boat, but lacking in areas of more knowledge . My motto is " you break it I fix it " and if its...

Facebook Marketplace sells everything under the sun

The ad is on Facebook so I cant use YouTube.

Hello, I am in Upstate SC, Oconee County, looking to buy a boat and keep on the coast also. How would you handle differently for tax purposes. I thought my taxes were based on my home residence county?

Two boats I am interested in are in Rhode Island and one in Maryland and I live in South Carolina I am a total newbie to boats of this size ( 35ft and 42ft ). I will have help to transport, Cruise to home. What is the weather and sea state during this time frame? Or would it be smarter to leave...

I am interested in this boat and would like some seasoned thoughts from long time members with experience. Or if their are any owners of this type boat out there. I have tried to find this model on internet for sale with no luck. I feel in todays market it is overpriced. Plus from photos it has...

The closest sea port is going to be Savannah or there abouts . Lake Lanie to Savannah GA 294 miles Lake Lanier to Mobile 379 miles. Or 100 miles to Chattanooga to put in the Tn. River. Then you can go almost any where.

Thanks for info, will be sure to find out.

I have seen that in one YouTube video. I would have to call them to get specs for structural strength and compression strength and the adhesive capabilities to the remaining materials. But it is an idea, but whatever I do I want it to be a permanent one time fix.

I have thought of that to some degree. I am 5' 7" and 165 lbs. and squirrely LOL I have worked on HVAC systems on large boats in Key West and can get into some small spaces. But without having been in the ER of a boat of this type I don't know if its possible for me to do the job without...

Hello all, I am back again, still looking at boats and need anyone and everyone thoughts or experience on the Hino engines and boat over all. Key thought also is the stringer repair under motor mount. I have put the link to the boat also...

Kind of what I thought, but hey I am a newbie and don't know squat other than what I am reading. The biggest reason I joined this group. To get real life actual information from experienced cruisers. Thank you

I wish to thank everyone for their input. My only thought is that if storage is permitted on what ever I buy, I will have spares for everything except the block and heads. LOL My main reason in looking at single screw is fuel burn. I saw one that was single , with 400 gallon fuel tank ,stating...

How many out here in Trawler Land ,have used single engines ? I know everyone is going to say two for redundancy in the middle of the ocean. However I would like to know if there are any brave and adventurous souls that have done it. I will be going from South Carolina to Bahamas and further...

I am doing the same but with no kids. LOL I have been looking for 2 years, pulled the trigger on 1986 Chung Hwa, failed survey miserably. Cost me $2k with haul out but saved me$60k. Be sure to get a survey. The get a Captain is good advice. I have been on and around small boats all my life ( own...
